arpumentive warrior, who has been 80
long absent from his old stamping
ground, has at last turned up in the
puise of Piute cheftain. A week ago
Jack. smeared in red ochre, with tur-
kew feather in his hat, quilted moccasins
on his feet. bow and arrows slung over
his shoulder, and an old U. $. musket
living across the saddle, rode at the head
Of cavalcade Of Piute warriors through
Pahranagat Valley. Uncle jim Pearson
accosted Jack and his clansmen, but
failed to get any response in the mother
tongue-the rich brogue had forever de-
parted. In the broken cultural, peculiar
to the Indian race, however, and by
signs, Jack gave Pearson to understand
that the cavalcade was journeying on to
where the sun went down.
In the San Francisco Chronicle of
March 18th, under the head of "a heavy
suit" appears the following article;
ar. II. Elan and James McFadden have
brought suit in the Circuit Court against
Lazard Freres Il Co.. to recover S3l, 200
damages. The defendants sued out an
Injunction in 1885, restraining the plain
tiHs from working the dead Independent
mine in Inyo county, and now the plain
tids claim damages in the sum named. "
The above, so far rs regards the local
ity and demise of the mine in question,
/. erroneous and deserves correction.
The Independent mine, over which the
suit is pending, is one Of the old.time
mines OF Phoebe, and was purchased a
few years since from its former owners by
Elan and McFadden.
Last Sunday night Sam Smith, with
the aid of an Indian ally, outhanked
Chinatown and through dint of strategy
succeeded in gobbiing up couple of
heathens, who, it is supposed, have been
engaged in the highly lucrative employ
ment Of selling whisky, rather too pro-
miscuously, to the members Of the noble
tribe of Piute. The celestials gave
bonds for their appearance before the
dread tribunal Of q Phoebe court and
were released.
Senator Jos. Poujade and wife arrived
home from the Bay Sunday last, and
were warmly welcomed by hosts of
friends. Monday evening the Phoebe
brass band gave them a serenade, which
had the effect Of eliciting brief address
from Mr.. Poujad in which he thanked
all interested for the honor conferred.
All hands were then invited in to par
take Of refreshments, which invitation
was accepted with will.
The "big boom" that was diurnally
and nocturnally hauled through Phoebe
during the year passed and gone, plowed
quite channel in the soil of prejudice
yet the channel has again become. filed
in and tamped mighty hard with the
same kind Of dirt that it fused to was. y
A very deep subsoil plow is the only
thing that can ever open it up again.
Three separate suits were entered in
the United States Court at Carson re-
